Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Highlights and Year-Over-Year Comparisons
| • |
Opened a record 32 new stores and ended the quarter with a total of 645 stores in 34 states, an increase of 18.1% year-over-year. With these new store openings, the Company opened
a record 86 new stores in fiscal 2025, exceeding its initial target of 75 new stores.
|
| • |
Ollie’s Army loyalty members increased 11.8% to 16.6 million members.
|
| • |
Net sales increased 18.6% to $613.6 million, driven by new store unit growth and an increase in comparable store sales.
|
| • |
Comparable store sales increased 3.3%, driven by continued strength in transactions.
|
| • |
Gross margin decreased 10 basis points to 41.3%. The decrease was driven by higher supply chain costs, primarily incremental tariff expenses, which
were partially offset by higher merchandise margins.
|
| • |
Selling, general, and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of net sales decreased 50 basis points to 29.4%. The decrease was
primarily driven by lower professional fees, stock-based compensation, and leverage from the continued optimization of our marketing spend.
|
| • |
Pre-opening expenses increased 3.2% to $7.4 million, driven by new store growth and $1.0 million of dark rent expense associated with the former Big
Lots locations that were acquired through the bankruptcy auction process.
|
| • |
Operating income increased 24.5% to $55.4 million and operating income margin increased 40 basis points to 9.0%.
|
| • |
Adjusted net income per diluted share increased 29.3%
to $0.75.
|
| • |
Adjusted EBITDA increased 21.8% to $72.9 million and adjusted EBITDA
margin increased 30 basis points to 11.9%.
|
| • |
Total cash and investments increased 42.2%, or $128.3 million, to $432.2 million. This included cash and cash equivalents of $144.7 million,
short-term investments of $41.3 million, and long-term investments of $246.1 million.

Non-GAAP Reconciliation
The Company’s results are reported in this press release on a GAAP and as adjusted, non-GAAP basis. Adjusted net income (loss), adjusted net income (loss) per diluted
share, and adjusted operating income (loss) are non-GAAP measures, and are not intended to replace GAAP financial information, and may be different from non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The Company believes the income and expense
items excluded as non-GAAP adjustments are not reflective of the performance of its core business, and that providing this supplemental disclosure to investors will facilitate comparisons of the past and present performance of its core business.
Please refer to the “Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP Financial Measures” table included in this press release, which sets forth the non-GAAP operating adjustments
for the 13-week and 39-week periods ended November 1, 2025 and November 2, 2024.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains certain forward-looking statements, which includes but is not limited to statements regarding industry trends, value creation, customer

to the finalization of the Company’s quarterly financial and accounting procedures, and may be affected by certain risks and uncertainties, any one, or a combination, of which could materially affect the results of the Company’s operations.
Forward-looking statements are usually identified by or are associated with such words as “could”, “may”, “might”, “will,” “likely”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “estimates”, “expects”, “continues”, “projects”, “forecasts”, and
similar terminology. Actual results could vary materially from the expectations reflected in these statements. As with any business, all phases of our operations are subject to factors outside of our control. These factors include, without

10-Q, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. There can be no assurance that the results or developments anticipated by the Company will be realized or, even if substantially realized, that they will have the expected
consequences to or effects on the Company or its business and operations. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company does not undertake any obligation
